“If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.” | Epictetus
Epictetus had another note that made the same point – “It is impossible to being to learn that which one thinks one already knows.”
It is easy to say “I want to learn.” It is much harder to be committed to being okay with being thought as foolish and stupid. That is a lot of discomfort to endure.
It is why learning is hard.
